Tesla Model 3 Preview

Tesla Model 3 2016 is one of the most awaited Tesla models for the Indian market. This premium sedan will be the most affordable model in the company's line-up. Electric cars never caught on in the country, but this model sure is to bring that interest back in the segment. Also Tesla will be offering supercharging as standard feature on all Tesla Model 3 variants. Tesla Model 3 colours as displayed are white, red and matte grey.

Tesla Model 3 Expected Engine and Transmission

Powered by an all electric motor, the Tesla Model 3 will be able to clock 0-96kmph under 6 seconds. Tesla will also place a supercharger network across India to provide swift charging in about 75 minutes providing you freedom to drive anywhere without stressing upon discharging batteries.

Tesla Model 3 Expected Mileage

Tesla claims Tesla Model 3 mileage will be around 346km on a single charge. This number has been claimed as minimum and the company expects even more range.

Tesla Model 3 Expected Price

As quoted by the company, Tesla Model 3 prices will start from USD35,000 or INR 23.3lakh excluding customs and duties and government incentives. We cannot say Tesla Model 3 price in India as custom duties are currently hovering at 125% with dollar rates fluctuating. Price could shoot up to INR 55-60lakh or come down depending on assembly, shipping and government incentives.

Tesla Model 3 Expected Launch Date

Tesla states its launch will commence from late 2017.

Verdict

Tesla Model 3 could very well put your faith back in electric cars as fast, beautiful looking and very advanced modes of transport. All of it though depends on its pricing, charging network and how Elon Musk works around the infrastructure related issues with this new Model 3, the most affordable Tesla yet.
